Lately, Lady Gaga opened up and talked about how she used to want to quit making music a few years ago.

The "Poker face" singer admits how she hates having to do the things she doesn't want to do. Especially if she has to do it for the money, she said that she doesn't like doing things to make people rich and that she feels like her passion, talent and creativity are being taken for granted. She also said that she feels like she's only being used to make people gain money.

The artist wanted to teach her fans and admirers about standing up for themselves and not letting other people use them or control them. She also wanted the fans to know that fame is not the greatest thing in the world.

As Gaga lives the life of being a pop star, she realized that it is not only about making and producing music. Being a pop star involves being famous and having to contend with number of sales her albums makes. Ever since then, Gaga knew she did not want that.

Lady G. explained how sad it makes her when she's forced to do something just to make money for other people. itseemed to make her weak she added.

Since then, the American Horror Story actress realized that she had to do something. She had to say no if she's asked to do something that she didn't want to do. She had to stand up for herself and stand up for what she actually wants to happen. Gaga stated that she definitely knew the things that she wants and doesn't want.

Lady G. added that everything became much more comfortable and relaxing when she started to take control of her life. It came to her that standing up for herself, was the only way to make her feel happy again. Because when she knew how to control her own life, she didn't have to overwork anymore. Overworking for people to make money only saddens the artist.

Her talk isn't just about how she stood up for herself, it is also about teaching everyone an important lesson.
